Water Scoop and Transfer – A Toddler Activity

Quick and Easy: Try this Water Scoop and Transfer

Life skills are one of my favorites to teach young toddlers. When you think about it, these are truly the skills that they will use for the rest of their lives so it’s kind of unbelievable to have the chance to teach someone those skills. This water scoop and transfer is a fun one!

Wait. What are “life skills”?

“Life skills” is the fun way to say “a skill your child will need throughout their life”. This isn’t something like the ABCs – that’s a literacy skill. These are skills like pouring, measuring, folding, cutting, etc.

Skills they will always need.

It is SO IMPORTANT to teach life skills in the toddler and preschool years.

It’s way more important than learning their ABCs and 123s at this age. Kids can (and will) learn those skills at any age – sometimes not until age 7. But life skills, like how to pour their own beverage, the foundation for that ability needs to be taught early.

How is scooping a life skill?

Think of how many times in your life you are asked to “scoop and transfer” something.
